Help Me Grow is a system of supports for pregnant women, caregivers with new babies, and families with young children with developmental delays and disabilities. This system includes Central Intake, Early Intervention (EI) and Early Childhood Home Visiting. • Early Intervention works with families with children birth to age three who have developmental delays or disabilities so that they have the best possible start in life. EI will evaluate and assess a child’s speech, motor, adaptive self-help cognitive and social-emotional skills, however, the developmental areas of most concern in 2022, continued to be speech, sensory, and behavioral related concerns among children ages one to three. The EI program has supported families through these challenges by developing goals, providing strategies and activities families can use to help their children progress with their development and connect the family with additional community resources or medical providers when needed. Additionally, the program continues to collaborate closely with the Infant Mental Health Program through the Greene County Educational Services Center who provides additional support to the EI team and to families, supporting and addressing family challenges due to the additional stressors families continue to face. • Early Childhood Home Visiting • Healthy Families America (HFA) is one of the leading family support and evidence-based home visiting programs in the United States.

It is staffed by a team of Bachelor of Science in Nursing prepared Registered Nurses (RNs). Two full-time RNs are currently serving families and have the capacity to serve more.
